Beim jungen Wein

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Sonne purpurn untergeht,
Schwalbe ist schon fern gezogen.
Unter abendlichen Bogen
Junger Wein die Runde geht;
Kind dein wildes Lachen.
 
Schmerz, darin die Welt vergeht.
Bleib der Augenblick gewogen,
Da im Abend hölzner Bogen
Junger Wein die Runde geht;
Kind dein wildes Lachen.
 
Flackerstern ans Fenster weht,
Kommt die schwarze Nacht gezogen,
Wenn im Schatten dunkler Bogen
Junger Wein die Runde geht;
Kind dein wildes Lachen.

With the young wine

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Sun is setting purple-red,
swallow has flown far away.
Under arches in the evening
new wine round the table goes;
Child your untamed laughter.

Pain in which the world decays.
Moment, well-disposed to us
when tonight under wooden arches
new wine round the table goes;
Child your untamed laughter.

Flickering star blows ’gainst the panes,
deep black night is closing in,
when in shadows of dark arches
new wine round the table goes;
Child your untamed laughter.
